This OVA. My man Arata is just too awesome and his legend grows everyday. I love this OVA.

So we start off the episode with Arata getting out of school with Lilith when the Headmaster’s secretary calls him in.

Turns out that Arata’s being expelled? Eh? But he’s been actually studying.

But there’s one way to save his grade.

With the Trinity Seven? Imagine the possibilities! Arata already is!

It’s only been 5 minutes and it is glorious!

Even his imagination is deserving of legend!

So basically study with each member of the Trinity Seven and do a report on each one. It must be done by 8am. 8 am? He does even look like he’d be up until at least 9.

Anyway run Arata! Your school life is on the line.

So out on the hallway Arata and Sora run into Levy. However she apparently says that he needs to talk to some other member of the Trinity Seven before he understands Envy.

Aw man!

So after that they head over to the Infirmary to talk with Liese.

And she starts off with this.

Best girl!

And when Selina says not to do bad stuff with her body, Liese says that she can join in.

Even more best girl!

So Liese puts the camera and begins her explanation of the Acedia Archive.

That sounds like good times are about to roll.

So Liese connects to her Archive and after that she teleports on top of him and starts taking off her top!

Like I said best member of the Trinity Seven!

And right when it gets good Lilith shows up.

Crap! Why now!

And then Sora offers for Lilith to join and Lilith of course says no.

After that Arata and Sora run for it while Lilith’s yelling.

Time to learn about some Avaritia!

And then we end up in Yui’s dream world. So it’s time to begin learning.

Wow she jumped to nudity fast and she wants to do it! That’s fast.

But Arata isn’t just cool but he’s honorable. He know that Yui’s been alone for so long so she’s eager to please. She wants to make other people happy and she’s willing to use her body to do it.

Arata’s a good enough person to be able to realize this and kindly says no. He also says that she has more friends that just him.

So Yui says that she isn’t really greedy because she’s always dreaming and can just bring up anything she wants in a dream. But lately she’s been a bit greedy.

Yui that isn’t greedy at all. It’s really sweet.

And with that Arata pats her on the head and says he wants that too.

After that we head over to the bath and we get Akio coming in!

(Pic of Akio and Arata in the bath)(12:29)

So after wondering about Mira for a second, Akio starts blushing when Arata looks at her.

So then Akio starts to explain her Archive.

Someone’s got control over their desires. Others…

So yuri perfect.

And then Lilith falls over and gets covered in soap.

Subtle…

So after that Akio talks about Mira and says to make sure to be kind to her.

After we go over to Arin.

It’s going to be difficult since isn’t really that wrathful.

That’d be nice but what about the Archive?

Ah right on queue.

Arin’s got trolling skills!

Have a hand

After that Lilith goes on a little tirade and Arata says this.

And Arin blushes. He’s getting a lot brownie points today.

And Arata my man heads right over to Mira for some Superbia traning.

And we rejoice!

He always says thanks after a meal.

It was worth it! God that’s a lot of blood.

So after Arata heals, we get some Super Superbia lessons.

You got to admit that out of them all in this series Superbia and Luxeria are pretty broken. Then again I’m reading the manga and I know some Luxeria mages that are really strong. Why are all Luxeria mages evil though? Joe! Got any ideas?

So after that it’s time to hit the books!

I don’t want to study!

I don’t why but that position looks really cute. Yoko Hikasa really brought Mira to life.

After a long study session Mira falls asleep and Arata tucks her in…all while Mira actually wakes up and Lilith is watching.

Lilith you dirty girl. You love to watch.

Of course from the way it looks it looks like he’s about to take advantage of her but he isn’t like that.

She looks like she wanted it though.

And Lilith’s hurting and jealous. She really likes him.

After that Lilith comes over to Arata’s room.

That’d be nice but my man’s got honor and legend!

I’m personally not sure of the number but some guys would have folded. I like Arata because he’s honest about how he feels but he isn’t going take advantage of anyone.

That’s worth respecting. Usually it’s a balance with harem characters. Either they’re losers that aren’t going to take advantage of a girl or they’re bastards that will do what Makoto in School Days did. Arata’s a good balance of straight forward and honorable.

And he comforts her after her jealous moment and tells her that he’s even more grateful to her and can always depend on him.

And with that the lights come on and Levy says that she’s shown him the Envy of a woman’s heart!

And then she explains that he would be doing perverted things with the girls and that Lilith would be following him so she’d get jealous and give her the perfect opportunity for Invidia to show out!

She also drugged Mira so she’d fall asleep…weird. What if Arata wasn’t a good guy?

And we end that with a beating before we head over to the headmaster and we’ve got someone.

It’s Lugh! Looks like they captured her from Ish Karioth.

Then we get some scenes from the future.

For those of you that don’t know this hints at the Sky Library Arc which came right after the anime and the Magic Tournament Arc which is after Sky Library.

You know what this means! Second season coming soon! Granted we have to wait for that eventually official announcement but hey they wouldn’t have done this if they didn’t think they were going to do it.

And we end the episode with Trinity x Seven x Heaven!

Ah now that was a good OVA. It got me hyped for the possible season 2.

So that’s it from me!

Until we get that second season,
Later Days

Where is Aiz! It’s hard to ship her with Bell if she’s never freaking around!? Where are the cute shipping moments for the two? I’m not against Hestia x Bell but god if he likes this girl give him something.

So we start off the episode with a flashback.

Aw his grandpa died. What are you going to choose now, Bell-kun?

Good work!

Unfortunately getting into a familia isn’t easy and he can’t get into any familias.

And with that Bell joined the Hestia familia.

And we return to the present with Bell swearing to fight the Silverback and get to get Hestia some time to run away.

I’m liking this kid. So after the opening, we head into the arena where some nameless folk are explaining the situation to Ganesha.

Looks like someone snuck in and released them but sucked out the guards’ souls.

They aren’t dead but they’re happy. That’s what happened when you meet a freaking goddess of beauty.

So what are you going to do Ganesha?

Nicely done. It shows that even though he’s a god he isn’t too proud to ask for help.

And in order to keep the problem down, they’ve got to move fast. As they leave we get a pic of Freya just smiling her butt off.

Then we head back to Bell who’s getting owned by the Silverback. As he fights we head back to Hestia who’s remembering what Hephaestus told her.

She’s giving a broken weapon that grows with its user to a noob on his first level. If this was Final Fantasy he’d be the most broken character.

Anyway we switch over to Eina who’s talking to one of her coworkers. They got the request from the Ganesha familia to find as many adventurers as they can to deal with the threat of the monsters.

Ah perfect timing. Now do something sexy and ship worthy Aiz!

And so after we switch back to Bell running for his life.

And as the Silverback comes at him again he wonders if Aiz’s going to come and save him. Sorry bro she’s busy killing other monsters.

So there’s no help coming for you man. Other than this…

You’re screwed but Bell goes on some parkour stuff and manages to save her.

But the Silverback gets them with a back hand and sends them flying throw a door. After they land Bell asks Hestia why did she come back.

That’s sweet. And when she says that she’ll protect him and he do the same for her.

And with that she says it’s too early to give up. Unfortunately the Silverback finds them again so Bell has to carry Hestia, bridal style.

She totally wants to make Demigods.

And while they run away Bell finds a secret compartment on the street and hides there. Now for their comeback, Hestia says that she’ll update his status and he’ll beat that monster easy!

All Bell can offer is excuses but Hestia believes him and gives him the knife that Hephaestus made for him.

Sounds like someone wasn’t creative that day. Then again do you really need it when you’ve got an anime character that trends like no one’s business?

So after that we go over to Aiz kicking butt again and some of the Ganesha familia say that the Silverback is still out there and was last seen chasing someone. Aiz takes off after it. Come on…let’s see some love!

So we move back to Bell and Hestia with the status update. And we see that the flashback of Hephaestus is the only one that can use that knife is Bell.

After that the Silverback finds them just as Hestia finishes the update.

And with that Bell rushes out and goes all aerial badass on him.

And Bell ends the fight like he’s epic but he is!

Pretty epic of you Bell. You’re on your way towards greatness.

And after that battle everyone comes out and gives Bell some applause.

And Aiz arrives just in time to see Bell’s epic moment. Also Loki wants Aiz’s butt.

Everyone that doesn’t want Hestia wants Aiz. It’s natural.

As we move back to Bell and Hestia passes out.

And we see Freya and looks like she’s planning more things for the future.

We get a quick look at Eina and she’s wondering about the state of events and why things happened.

After that we go to Bell in the tavern and turns out they lent Bell a bed so Hestia can rest.

Syr also apologizes. If she hadn’t forgetten her wallet then none of this would have happened.

After that Hestia finally wakes up and Bell tells her that all the monsters have been taken care of. When Bell asks who made the knife, she tells him that it was the one and only Hephaestus that made it!

Hestia always saw Bell looking into the Hephaestus Familia’s shop and she wanted to give him something to help on his journey. This is the least she can do for him.

After seeing everything that Hestia does for him, Bell cries.

After that we see this little girl with this massive backpack as we end the episode.

And with that we have a great episode. We see Bell just owning that Silverback.

I can’t wait for the next episode.

Until then,
Later Days

Here’s our eager young adventurer. I get my pics from Zero-chan not Pixiv.

Not sure. I’ve heard speculations that have ranged from her being Pocahontas to Genghis Khan or Attila the Hun and Charlemagne.

I think she might be Charlemagne. Mostly because of her sword which could be Joyeuse. According to legend Charlemagne’s sword changed color thirty times a day. What’s better to show that than a rainbow sword.

Anyway we’ve also got more news and more characters.

Now as you all know the Nasu Verse is wide and vast with a whole lot of parallel worlds. And apparently Type-Moon’s pulling out all the stops to bring out some of the best.

That’s right they’re bringing together Servants from Fate/Unlimited codes, the failed Apocrypha project, Fate/ Prototype: Fragments of Blue and Silver, Fate/Extra, Fate/Apocrypha, Fate/Zero, and the original Fate/Stay Night.

Oh the hype. I can’t take it anymore.

We need to get this game out. It’s been pushed back unfortunately. It was originally supposed to come out this spring but you know Type Moon and their word about release dates.

It comes out this summer.

Hopefully we’ll get a translation guide or an international release.

So until we get more information,

Feel free to buy here or not. Just know that you’ll be supporting AnimeThief a little bit.

Hahahah oh god it hurts to laugh like this! Also Caster is too badass for reasons that I’ll explain below

So we start off the episode with Rin fixing up Shiro. Apparently you can’t fight against assassins and project Noble Phantasms without busting open your wound you got from being stabbed by a holy sword…

Remember when life used to be simple, Shiro?

After that Rin decides to cook dinner and it looks like it was actually good.

After that Shiro starts to wonder why he joined the war and despite the fact that he’s lost Saber he’ll still fight. Rin basically says that she understands how he feels and will keep going with him despite the fact that he should really care more about his own life.

Then Rin goes all tsundere on him

There’s a reason why Rin is the page image for tsundere on TvTropes.com. Don’t go there. Time goes there to die.

So after the opening Rin goes over the situation and I’ll go over it too in the most comedic way possible.

On the Caster’s side
1.Caster-A Magus from the Age of Gods with magecraft so powerful it’s similar to True Magic
2.Kuzuki who killed Rider by himsefl
3.Archer who nearly killed Caster and fought Assassin to a draw

And once she has control over Saber she’ll have:

4. Saber freaking King Arthur with Instinct bordering on seeing the future and with Caster as her Master she can spam Excalibur without a care in the world.

On the Rin and Shiro side
1. Two kids. one is a half trained genius and the other is a idiot who finally found the thing he’s good at.

They’re screwed in so many ways…

Good idea but well…the only ones left are Lancer’s Master who is unknown at this time and Illya…let’s see Illya kills you 5 times in the Visual Novel. Granted out of 40 bad ends Sakura kills you more in Heaven’s Feel but hey I’m not being petty.

This may be their only idea but that doesn’t mean it’s their best one…

So we move back over to the church and see Caster and Saber. Saber’s still hanging out, just chilling and getting tortured.

Meanwhile Caster has a full out flashback of her old Master before Kuzuki while she’s trying to find the Holy Grail. Oh Caster so smart but so unknowning. Illya’s the Catalyst and the Lesser Grail. Go and get her but you’ll have to be quick.

So the flashback starts and we see Caster’s old Master, Atram Galiast. Just so you know this is anime exclusive but still Canon by Nasu’s standards. When asked why this was different from the VN, he said. “”What, the game version says he’s a middle-aged man of medium build? No, no, that’s definitely just an illusion. Don’t give it a second thought. You need to raise your “Insight” more… line your brain with eyes… yes… let’s make contact together in Yharnam…”

Oh he’s referencing Bloodborne. He must be playing that instead of doing the Tsukihime remake.

Anyway the reason that Atram summoned Caster is for her ability to summon the Colchis Dragon but she can’t actually summon it. She has the ability to but lacks to actual rituals to summon a Phantasmal Beast like a dragon.

Darn! We never really see many dragons in the Nasu Verse.

Anyway Atram says that he’s playing on winning to bring fame to his family name. To that he summoned Caster and made the best Workshop for the task.

Workshops are magus’s place of work in terms of magic. It’s where they make their magical tools and practice. Caster Class servants have a skill called Territory Creation which mimics this.

Now this what people mean when they talk about Maguses are crazy in the name of magic. You can count the good and noble magus on one hand. You’ve got Shiro, Rin, Sion from the Tsukihime Universe, Zelretch(he barely slides in because he’s a really big troll), Luvia Edelfelt, and Aoko Aozoki from Tsukihime and Mahou Tsukai no Yoru.

That’s what 6 people. Not at lot…

Not bad. Caster your response?

Atram’s shocked. Dude read my lips. Magus from the Age of Gods. The stuff that modern mages do is like the wheel and fire to Caster. She’s more like a internal combustion engine.

So instead of being smart and taking Caster’s advice about closing the workshop, he uses a Command Spell on Caster to make sure that she doesn’t use Rule Breaker on him.

Then he punches her. Now he’s a complete bastard.

So we switch over to Atram and Kotomine at the Church. He’s asking for a switch. It isn’t because Caster’s weak more like he doesn’t trust her.

Dude she was the victim all through life. Heck before she met Kuzuki her wish was to go back home to Greece.

So when Kotomine asks if he read the story of Medea, he did but he completely missed the idea. This is going to go so well…

He also give something to Kotomine to give to Lancer’s Master…now that’s funny if you know the joke. Ouch Bazett…

So when Kotomine tells him that he can get a new Servant but only if he breaks his contract with Caster this happens.

Someone was busy.

So when giving her master one more chance to be kind to her, he screws it up and orders her to kill herself.

Nice try but she cut off the contract with you and her by stabbing herself.

Caster:1
Soon To Be Corpse: 0

After that stupid idea to try to kill her, Caster locks him in something. It’s either a small scale Reality Marble or an illusion. Both are within her power. She’s just that strong.

And there he dies. Wait correction. Here’s where he dies.

That’s what you get for crossing Medea.

Top Floor, Lancer.

Now according to Ufotable on Twitter, seven minutes of content was taken out of this episode. I’m guessing it was Caster vs. Lancer. That just makes Caster awesome.

That means that with a low mana pool, no contract, fighting Lancer, and she probably had to dodge Gae Bolg she got away. Props to her!

So we move to Caster in the rain, crying about her past and the fact that things are always the same for even in death.

However Kuzuki comes around and takes her into the Ryuudo Temple. She explains the situation and Kuzuki chooses to be her new Master…

Granted in the VN they did the deed but still it counts.

After that we go to the morning and we have Rin and Shiro going up to Illya’s Mansion. While they walk Rin explains the relationship between Berserker and Caster. They are Hercules and Medea so they should have met on the Argo.

That’s completely false since Hercules didn’t get all the way to Colchis. He left about half way but whatever.

After that Rin asks Shiro to take a step forward.

Ouch. Illya’s got traps.

Now this is funny.

Now that’s comedy. Mages do fly! I liked the sound she did in the VN a bit more since it was more a Kya and than an actual scream but both are good.

So we switch over to Illya and she of course looking and laughing at Rin.

She’s willing to hear them out and she sends Sella and Leyrsritt to go and bring them back.

The main reason she wants to talk with them is this.

Now back in the VN, it was pretty unknown if Illya was going to be hostile or not. However it’s pretty obvious that Illya only wants to talk. She’s abandoned and Shiro is the only person she can talk with about Kiritsugu.

The only people she has that care about her are Sella, Lis, and Berserker. That list is about to get really short, really soon.

So we get Shinji falling out of the sky and falling on his face like the tool he is. Sella and Leys start to kill him but then our lord Gilgamesh makes his appearance.

Here’s my thoughts. How the heck can he get a flurry of cherry blossoms behind him in the middle of February?

And then the horrors start. Gilgamesh you are one of the most awesome characters in the Nasu-Verse but after watching Fate/Kaleid he’s a dick for killing Sella and Leys.

Yeah you’re a dick Gil.

And to end it he cuts off Sella’s head off after she’s already been impaled at least 10 times. Come on Gil. She’s already dead!

I know how this battle ends but still. Berserker kill Gilgamesh for killing them!

And this will be a glorious battle…that will wait until next week.

I really liked this episode because it really made Caster’s past more on the front of our minds. She’s not a saint but she’s not pure evil either. More like Neutral Evil.

So until that legendary battle next week,
Later Days
